Notices
JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

What was done to your JK this week?

The install was a pain in the ass! You will need someone to help you fit it all together. You will also need some ratchet straps to help pull things together and a tread chaser to clean powder coat out of the holes. It took me and a buddy all day and I consider myself pretty wrench savvy.

Was it all bolt-on, or did you have to do some cutting/trimming to make it fit? Does it not connect to the window frame?

Looks good by the way.

Bed lined my grill! Had so much fun I'm looking for other things I could do now.

Also, I don't know why the pictures are sideways. They're right side up on my phone?

There is some trimming of the sound bar and dash area. Some drilling. No welding. There will be some more trimming needed for the plastic covers around the windshield. But I don't think I'm going to re install that stuff.

Today I got my Bumpers & Sliders back from the Powder Coating Shop & I am very happy with the job they did, everything got a semi-gloss texture finish & they look great, I installed the front on already along with the lights & tomorrow the Fogs & Winch will be added, the Rock Sliders will be going on today and the Rear Bumper perhaps tomorrow because I am still waiting on the small pieces that got coated to come, I also prepped the AEV Hood and it's ready for paint...so hopefully by the end of the week My Jeep will be done on the Transfomation!

AEV Hood...



Bumpser Installed (Closer Look to see the Texture)...
